I just got this car at age 16.When I got it it had a 2.8L V-6 w/ a 4-speed transy, which was both no good. I have a 350 5.7L V-8 that has been completely rebuilt. So I am currently in the process of changing them now. It has been hot tanked, bored .10 over, new crank, pistons, bearings, seals, rods, and a 305 (rv) cam. The heads have been grinded out, port and polished, w/ high compressioned valves, & lifters. An Edelbrock intake, & the carb. is actually a quaddrajet (double pumper) that i got off of a Cadillac 501 {square-block}-(which is not shown).
